Sustainability

Jigsaw's revolutionary energy production and management

This extensive £155 million redevelopment of Green Man Lane's 1970s housing estate into over 700 modern homes will feature a single carbon-reducing Energy Centre containing a combined heat and power unit that will produce low and zero carbon energy.

Designed to achieve level 4 in the Code for Sustainable Homes, the unit will provide the heating and electricity for the development, with any excess energy sold back to the electricity provider, and income used to reduce running costs for residents. Any surplus heat is stored in large tanks of water and drawn upon when most needed, for example in the morning for hot showers.
